Rap is a musical technique born from, and most associated with the musical genre and culture of Hip Hop.  It is an art form that uses language as a rhythmical instrument, and has risen from being the voice of the minority and underprivileged, to the most popular music genre in the entire world.  Have a listen to this podcast where musician and teacher, James Lyons, talks you through beat driven lessons in his approach to rap and beatbox, and also touches on misconceptions about the techniques, and how they can act as barriers to people practising them as artforms.
